Thread: Redmax Hedge trimmer starting problem

:blob3: hey guys, need a little help, i always had a tough time starting my redmax hedge trimmers, i recently replaced to top half of the engine, piston, rings and head. now i have a real tough time starting it, i think i covered all bases, compression is good, i have spark, all gaskets in place and torqued correctly, im thinking that the magnet on the module may be out of adjustment. any of your help or suggestions would be great. Thanks tony

When you say trimmers do you mean you have trouble starting more than one trimmer? Have these trimmers been hard to start from when they were new? How old are they now? What is the sequence that you go through to start them? My Redmax takes about 8 pumps on the primer, full choke, 5 pulls and it starts.
